In line with the Planning Committee Protocol, the objector who had requested to speak on this item chose to make his representations at the meeting following the site visit

S/36018

Conversion and extension of barn to form a residential annexe for family members of adjoining dwellinghouse at Llwyn y Rhos, Coopers Road, Ammanford:-

 

A request was received for the Committee to undertake a site visit to view the location of the property in relation to the surrounding environs and on the basis the roof height would not pose any detriment to the setting of the landscape as it appeared to form part of the farm buildings.

 

A representation was received in support of the application which re-iterated some of the points detailed within the Head of Planning’s report and included the following:-

·        The application sought the retention of works previously undertaken to the property to facilitate the provision of accommodation for an elderly relative wishing to return to the area for family support

·        The proposed extension was to facilitate the provision of a disabled bathroom annexe

·        The Head of Planning had confirmed the change of use from holiday let to residential was acceptable

 

 

·        The application was recommended for refusal on the basis it would be harmful to the character and appearance of the original barn and surrounding area. It was contended the proposed annexe, located some 500m from the highway, would blend in with the surroundings and be no higher than the family house

·        No objection to the application had been received from either neighbours or the local community council

The proposal would not be fully contained on site and would not be detrimental to the local amenity or neighbours

 

REASON: to enable the Committee to view the development in relation to its surroundings
